ASSE A10.40-2007 (R2013)

The purpose of this standard is to reduce occupational contributions to musculoskeletal problems in construction workers. 

Note: Implementing this standard can help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal problems, but may not eliminate them due to the complex etiology of musculoskeletal problems and non-occupational risk factors. Note also that the mere presence of occupational risk factors may not constitute a problem. 

Note: This standard is not intended to be and should not be used by governmental authorities in any enforcement procedures or as a basis for enforceable standards. The committee understands that there is not complete agreement about the causes and solutions to musculoskeletal problems in construction.
